1257: No Help At All

No Help At All

The emergency exit on the fifth floor finally opened. Dozens of security guards armed with guns entered the fifth floor.1

Huo Yao activated the infrared sensors and aimed at the security guards.

The security guards walking in the front did not expect the infrared sensors to get reactivated. The infrared sensors treated them as intruders and quickly attacked them. Before they knew it, blood sprayed into the air. Their chest and legs were so badly injured that even their bones could be seen.

Even though they were wearing safety gear, it was completely useless against the infrared sensors.

The security guards promptly retreated behind the emergency exit.

The captain looked at the men on the ground sternly and glanced toward the other end of the corridor. He pressed on the mike in his ear and gave orders to the control room. "Turn off all the infrared sensors in the building and cut off the power on the fifth floor."

The moment the control room received the orders, someone quickly went to the power room.

After the infrared sensors and power on the fifth floor were cut off, it was just a matter of time before the security guards caught up with the intruder.

…

Meanwhile, on the other end.

Chen Ming was outside the institute waiting to assist Huo Yulin. He watched as the light in the institute suddenly turned on and could hear the sirens sounding. He instantly became very worried.

"They found Young Master Yulin," muttered the technician anxiously. "What do we do now?"

The institute had a very complicated layout and a world-class security system.

If Huo Yulin was caught, it was nearly impossible for him to escape.

Chen Ming clenched his fists as his mind went blank.

Young Master Yulin was going to take over the family business, so he had been groomed as a clan leader. If something happened to him, the consequences were unimaginable.

"Wait here. I will go over to the institute with some men to check it out. I'm sure everyone is focused on catching Young Master Yulin, so no one will notice us entering."

Chen Ming contemplated before giving the orders.

The technician nodded. "Take care."

"Okay."

Chen Ming ordered his men to move in as he opened the car door and got off the car.

Meanwhile, inside the institute.

The power on the fifth floor was cut off. Without power, the infrared sensors and surveillance cameras promptly turned off as well.

Since Huo Yao was unable to access the surveillance cameras, she stopped working on the computer. Instead, she kept looking at the timer on the bottom right of the laptop screen.

A minute had already passed. She wondered how her third older brother was doing.

Huo Yulin had to get to the other building from the outside. Also, there was a high risk that he might fall. From the looks of it, it was equally dangerous as facing the infrared sensors inside the institute.

Moreover, the buildings were over ten meters apart, so it would take at least two to three minutes for anyone to climb over.

Huo Yao looked unusually solemn and even her breathing was shallow. She could only hear the sound of Huo Yulin moving every now and then over the mike.

Huo Yao did not bother to ask Huo Yulin how he was doing out of fear that she would only distract him. She sat quietly and waited. There was nothing else she could do to help now.

Huo Yulin was halfway to the other building. To be precise, he had already made two-thirds of the distance, so he only had a short way to go. When he got to the other building, he would have to cut the glass to gain access.

Meanwhile, dozens of security guards were swiftly heading his way. Since they had cut the power on the fifth floor, they had to rely on their torch lights.
